Thunders Extra Races for Baldurs Gate 3 introduces 12 new playable races, enhancing the character selection with unique abilities and traits. Players can choose from races such as Bugbears, Harpies, Goblins, and more, each offering distinct progressions and skills. However, some races may lack compatible clothing and visual assets, leading to potential graphical issues during gameplay. It is advised to avoid randomizing character selections to prevent softlocks during character creation.

The mod continues to evolve, with future updates planned to include additional races like Goliaths and Lizardfolk, alongside improved models and animations. The progressions for each race provide a variety of abilities, from combat enhancements to unique spells, allowing for diverse gameplay strategies. This mod is free to use on Windows and is a valuable addition for players looking to deepen their Baldurs Gate 3 experience.
